The Switch is coming soooo our expectations were quite low. Like we shouldn't be expecting the Wii U and 3DS to reach PS4 and XONE level. Same with the PSvita as well. |
Sources claim that 3DS is massively yoy up, the only one console to be yoy up ( Not unexpected, New 3ds for 99$ in Black Friday, Pokemon S/M+ Pokemo go) and a famous twitter persona who hasn't been very positive and fair regarding 3DS sales, posted that 3DS was on fire in november npd... So imagine! If this rumor about just 1m XB1 and 1.1m PS4 in november is valid, don't be surprised if 3ds came close to them!
New 3ds xl is almost sold out everywhere and still hasn't been restocked. Nintendo's inventory must have been depleted and they have to produce more to replenish the shelves and meet the relatively tremendous demand for 3ds in its 6th year.
Nintendo is too much insecure, they saw all that Pokemon go effect and they only increased their FY16 forecast by 1m, 5m->6m, when 3ds is on track to beat 2014 and 2015, when they shipped 7.63m and 7.9 respectively.
I hope Nintendo's undershipping or inability to produce/ship enough won't prevent 3DS to sell more in 2016, than it sold in 2014 and 2015.
